Ramblin' Jones

Whiskey Myers

Lyrics
We a long way from Kansas
Man, I must confess this ain't no way to live a life
And the lights of the city, still make me feel shitty
I can't even see the stars in the sky

So, I'm 'a head down to Memphis
Looking for a princess who might like the way I sing
'Cause I'll feel better again, soon as I'm in that south land
And feel that warm breeze under my wings
Alright

'Cause all my life I've let the candle burn
Setting fire to my bridges as I let these wheels turn
They said I'd slow down when I got old
But I done quit quitting a long time ago

Yeah, I been at it all night waiting for the sunrise
Just to toast the break of dawn
After all these years you know I still got a Ramblin' Jones

18 years on the road, 18 years on the road
18 years is a long time to be
Out here doing the same and elevating your game
So you don't sound like other folks on the scene

LA to Cincinnati Tucson to Tallahassee
And everywhere around this land
I put my back to the sun and head out on the run
I'm out here working on this master plan
Alright

'Cause all my life I've let the candle burn
Setting fire to my bridges as I let these wheels turn
They said I'd slow down when I got old
But I done quit quitting a long time ago

Now I been at it all night waiting for the sunrise
Just to toast the break of dawn
After all these years you know I still got a Ramblin' Jones

Here I come

And when I ain't busy, I head to Mississippi
To meet some real good friends of mine
We spend our days in the bottom land, chasing around turkey
Catching fish and drinking homemade wine

But it won't be long before the highway calls
And I'll be right back at it again
Headed from town to town, burning all city's down
Out with my rough and rowdy friends, yeah

'Cause all my life I've let the candle burn
Setting fire to my bridges as I let these wheels turn
They said I'd slow down as I got old
But I got this down deep in my soul

Yeah, I been at it all night waiting for the sunrise
Just to toast the break of dawn
After all these years I still got that Ramblin' Jones

Yeah, I been at it all night waiting for the sunrise
Just to toast the break of dawn
After all these years you know I still got that Ramblin' Jones
